While watching Being Human (a show about a Vampire, a Werewolf and a Ghost)
Me: Babe, if a vampire offered you eternal life…
Wife: YES!
Me: Just like that huh? You’d watch me get old and die?
Wife: BYE FELICIA!

Showing the boys Naked Gun 2 ½. Lt. Frank Drebin helps me explain the birds and the bees
Xavier (11): What? I don’t get it

Grown-ups Presentation
Repetitive frames...Reel to reel...Morbid in making nightmares...Frozen scream...A child's dream. For night terrors, never reflect kindness of empathy...For feelings of cold robots are none & the child learns young...Of their peers of perchers...The one's screaming down their necks...Their words are a confusing muddle...Mad is the child splashing in dirty puddles...A speech of repeat...False & long or tiresome & dull...A re-run cartoon, only shown at noon...A wore down song...Nursery rhymes out grown. Mesmerizing verses... They've heard many times. Slurred words...Booze on their...

one voice
do not try denying
every little struggle,
the cries and pain
from generations,
children weeping
in lands so selfish,
what destruction will play
if we forget
that it only takes
one voice
that could begin
to make a difference.

Regret
affliction dear please afford me this confession
assorted pain dances in my mind tormenting me
the ghosts of my children's childhoods
I see their baby faces
not enough food to sustain their grumbling bellies
they still visit me in my resting state
I see their young faces knowing I failed them
they haunt my existence I see threads wait more like nooses
troubling the present trying to hang them
none of my grown children want anything to do with each other
too many bad memories
still basically living in poverty ...

Take Me Back
Take me back to a place I want to go
Where cartoons and candy is all I know
Life was easier and more grand
Go to the beach, digging in the sand
Met with friends, knocked on their door
Kids today sit around, what the fuck for?
Baseball, biking, swimming all day
Post 2001 life has turned so grey
Government and tech has ruined our lives
Increase pressures, illness and suicide
Optimism flew away years ago
My personal opinion, just so you know

A Crooked Concept
Some monsters have always said
There are parents under my bed
One of their names is Ted
The other goes by Deb
There are parents under my bed
They won’t eat me as long as their fed
There are parents under my bed
Their complexions are lumpy & red
There are parents under my bed
My dreams are filled with dread
There are parents under my bed
I’d like to shoot them with lead
There are parents under my bed
Must act now before I wind up dead
There are parents under my bed
They say this illusion is in my head

Too many
I have had plenty of many moms,
some witches, which is not that bad,
many hags, who had made me sad.
So many moms so little differences...
Some such bad opinions to share,
some much good ideas to spare.
I can recognize them with a glare.
I can sort them by a simple affair.
I spot all of them here and there.
Waiting at my classroom door...
Trying to read my thoughts.
Aiming to reach me in a hunt.
Moms should never get close
to their children teachers, ever!
Our planets are too far away...

For My Kids and the souls I let down
I can't sleep tonight
I'm having flashbacks
seeing beings I let down in one way or another
tears streak down my face knowing I failed them
I've spent most of my life disconnected
not fully there
I neglected my kids
failed them utterly
it hurts in a way I can't fathom
I can barely touch the pain of it
it seizes my heart with such sorrow
I was a very young mother
and didn't know what I was doing
it seems I let everyone down
my beloved fur babies as well
failed to protect them from themself
I pray...

A Sharpened Edge
It is interesting to see how siblings can grow so differently.
When raised in a house where you must fight to survive, you’d think everyone would come out covered in wounds but with a heart of hardened steel.
Shaped against a spilling wheel, a sharpened tongue.
But, not everyone is steel.
Some people are copper.
Or bronze.
Tin, even.
The battle would quickly dull their blade, their spirits.
They can be fixed with some time and effort, but is it worth it?
If they will break once more so soon?

Nothing's Lost, you see?
When my frame can no longer hold me here, My Spirit, He will search The Eternal for dreams held off my reach. Planting these as seeds in my children's blood, He will say, "These sketches, Nana left them to guide the path you choose to follow."
We do not only give birth to our children. He Who gives them life, gives us their dreams as well to bear.
Nothing's Lost, You see?!

A dark night.
Passing by an
Old cottage
Of country cheese
And chicken.
She hurries
To feed her
Babies in barn.
Bare subliminal sunlight
And the tallish tree's shade
Of cool breeze falls
Over her shoulders.
She carries paper sheets
Of office work.
She works skrillex
Computer and earns
A pynny.
A new school day
Of her life children
Are too sunny.
She Eats Apple cider
And chicken roast
Plays a county music.
She color her bars glass
Green and blue
And lives nearby
